The series thoughtfully challenges the audience to reflect on what truly constitutes justifiable defense and whether the law can ever be absolute or “almighty.” It suggests that final verdicts and legal conclusions are inevitably shaped by personal beliefs and biases—highlighting an inherent vulnerability in the legal system, which is, after all, a human construct. There is a scene where prosecutor explains to LI mufeng that after he was sent to jail , the crime rate and bullying in schools reduced significantly, and li mufeng responds “ what about me ?” I understand proportionality in cases like these , but what was he to do ? Walk away?

What truly elevates this drama is its excellent plot—tightly constructed, engaging, and consistently thought-provoking without relying on unnecessary shock value. It is, in many ways, a seriously underrated drama that deserves far more recognition than it has received.

The writing is strong, complemented by solid direction and a cast of compelling, multi-dimensional characters. The series excels in portraying psychological depth, allowing viewers to connect with the characters beyond surface-level storytelling.

Bai Jingting delivers a particularly standout performance, bringing nuance and authenticity to his role. His portrayal adds significant emotional weight to the narrative and is one of the highlights of the series
